Apprenticeships, internships, thesis and VIE (International Volunteer Program)

Internships, apprenticeships, VIE and PhDs: what if your future started here?

Every year, more than 10,000 of you take your first steps with us. First briefings. First work sites. First projects where you're trusted. You join a team. You have a mission. You matter. And sometimes, that first time becomes the beginning of something bigger!

So, how does it actually work?

From the very beginning, you're part of the team: you take action, you grow, you contribute your energy to a collective project: producing cleaner, decarbonized electricity, innovating, and pushing boundaries.

And the best part? You get real support. A mentor, colleagues, regular check-ins… You're never alone.

What we guarantee:

A mentor who truly guides you
A meaningful, clear, evolving mission tailored to your level
Rapid integration, anywhere in France
Regular exchanges to help you progress
Working hours that fit around your student life
A supportive, stimulating, and safe environment

And it works: at EDF SA, in 2024, 1 in 2 new graduate hires followed an internship or apprenticeship!

With us, alternating work and study is a true partnership!

Here, we move forward together, we learn, we challenge ourselves… and we stay focused on the future.

No wonder nearly 91% of students recommend EDF, a HappyTrainees certified company for the 10th year running!

Apprenticeships, internships, vocational training centers, and international volunteer programs: there's a path for everyone.
